-
Q. Can I participate by myself?
It is possible. Many participants come alone!
Q. Is there a place to change clothes?Yes, there is. However, it would be smoother if you wear your swimsuit under your clothes in advance for pick-up and assembly.
Q. I can't swim.Yes, we can provide a life jacket for those who are concerned about their safety. You will be wearing a very buoyant wetsuit and we can provide life jackets if you are concerned. In other words, it is like wearing a floatation ring, so you can participate without any problems at all.
Q. Can I touch sea turtles?Sea turtles come to the surface to catch their breath. You can get close enough to touch them at that time, but please do not touch the sea turtles. I don't want you to touch any wild animals.
Q. Can I do it while wearing glasses?Because masks are worn, glasses are not acceptable. If you have poor eyesight, we recommend wearing soft contact lenses if possible.
Q. I get seasick easily.Entry is made from the beach, not by boat. The surface of the water is a bit bumpy, so there is a possibility that those who get easily intoxicated may experience wave sickness. In that case, please be assured that we will take you to a place where you can get to your feet quickly!
